Curriculum continuum
Levels 1 and 2
Levels 3 and 4
Levels 5 and 6Explain how being prepared to try new things can help identify strategies when faced with unfamiliar or challenging situationsIdentify how persistence and adaptability can be used when faced with challenging situations and change
Describe what it means to be confident, adaptable and persistent and why these attributes are important in dealing with new or challenging situations Slide12
Explicit teaching and assessment
The
Personal and Social Capability describes social and emotional learning as discrete knowledge, understandings and skills, rather than a statement of pedagogy
For example, just because a student completes a task as part of the team, this does not mean that they acquire the knowledge, understandings and skills necessary to work collaboratively with others. The knowledge, understandings and skills for working collaboratively, such as communication, negotiation, time management and conflict resolution, need to be explicitly taught and assessed.Successful social and emotional learning programs move beyond giving information to explicitly teaching and providing opportunity for students to practise interpersonal skills. Slide13
Explicit teaching and assessment
What strategies will you use to explicitly teach these content descriptors?
FoundationDevelop
a vocabulary and practise the expression of emotions to describe how they feel in different familiar situations
Levels 3 and 4
Identify
how persistence and adaptability can be used when faced with challenging situations and change
Levels 5 and 6
Identify
the characteristics of an effective team and develop descriptions for particular roles including leadership, and describe both their own and their team’s performance when undertaking various roles Slide14
Curriculum

the importance of a range of social relationships, including within families, peer groups and the communityidentifying and managing emotional responses in a range of contexts
